What makes a photograph powerful?  For one, the viewer must sense, that it was essential for the photographer to express a fundamental need, that this subject must be photographed!  The Artist must have a highly developed sense for the importance and urgency of making a photograph.  Obsession with the technical, and addiction to every new gadget can impede the process to meaningful work.  Fussing with gadgets and techniques and losing ones sense of balance in this area is like a writer who believes a better word processor will create the profound novel.  Exciting photographs are not the result of exotic chemicals, pixels and paper.  Neither silver or sensors, they are the result of a creative mind.  The art found on this site has been printed on a glossy fine art Baryta, which allows for a deep rich black and a wonderful luminosity in the high values.
